Jan 28, 2008 - ROFL "22% of the British population have broadband Internet" xD Korea has more than 90% broadband users... Brits are still mostly on dialup I see. Interesting video tho.

Feb 13, 2008 - Very Good! GUYS SWITCH TO WPA AND USE A LONG PASSWORD such as jdfoejfsjldfjf or something like that. WPA cannot be cracked like WEP. You need a dictionary file and ive never seen a dictionary file with that in it

Mar 20, 2008 - For how long is that Referral Code valid? Just found the Referral Code JUSTMORE on a website to use it at Fulltiltpoker com - Americans are welcome there as well - to get exclusive $600 sign up Bonus. Is that code working somewhere else as well? If yes, for how long?

Mar 20, 2008 - do you ever watch reall hustle. e.g. if they take ur money they give it back to you and tell you what happened. so us people avoid getting scammed or tricked ourselves.

WabbitWon Says:

Aug 16, 2008 - This is the most ridiculous video ever... that white hat should be embarrassed to have even cooperated with that project... scaring the bejessus out of people, and then giving them false hope that they can protect themselves... thats more shameful than the black hat would be.

Oct 19, 2008 - My god! That ARP poisoning bastard!! He should try packet sniffing on my network. Thats if he can sort my actual wireless connection from the 150 fake ones I use to mask mine. If you have 2 AP's that use the same wireless signal they can ONLY use WEP to communicate between each other. What he is doing is illegal in the UK, if I was that bloke id sue his ass! He probably thanked him!

Oct 19, 2008 - Its fine that's a show designed to warn the public.

dtrix92 Says:

Oct 19, 2008 - to hekma. No, as long as your on their network they can do as they wish, you can change your mac to stop it linking to you hardware if they ever decide to press charges after catching you but no, can't really stop them seeing you. To be honest most people wouldn't even notice your on there network unless your doing something really bandwidth heavy.

sunnz Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - So how do you prevent people from looking at what you are doing on the net?

LocalNetworkAdmin Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - This is so lame...as sticky1254 put it...skiddies.Even with WPA encrypted passwords its still very crackable with a dictionary file and booting your labtop with the back track 3 linux distro.I've done it serveral times.WEP is weak is but WPA is not too far from it.Just need enough packets sniffed and one handshake from the network by knocking them off of it first.If you wanna know more about it send me a messege
